Default 17" or 18" and suggestions for new set of rims...

can you guys weigh in your thoughts on whether 17s or 18s are better... and suggestions for a new set of rims are greatly appreciated as well for my '02 Sebring (pretty much stock with the exception of stereo and intake upgrades)... thanks.

stick with 17s... IMO 18s don't perform as well. Tires are more expensive, the AR is lower, higher chance of bending a wheel for daily driving, and of course the main reason they are heavier.
However if your more into the Flush/dumped/bling look. 18s are the only way to go. Good luck with what YOU want.

17's are the way to go...plus you have a wider selection of tires when you go with 17s.

17's are popular, but i like 18's. Honestly it depends on which wheel. I say 5 spoke or less 18's, lots of spokes 17's; thats my opinion.
